"REPLIVIO!!"
Ah, it's too easy to annoy people on this site isn't it?

I'm sure they still play computer games too.

Smirks.

What's wrong with playing video games? They're just as a valid medium to tell stories as movies.

Still, as you're here, you're wrong. They aren't as valid a medium to tell stories as movies. Just as internet threads are not.

naaa, games are good.
it's rare that one will be awesome in terms of story and character development, but the same can be said for a lot of films.

^This
I've played some truly engaging and emotive games, and watched similarly evocative films.

Never said they were not good
just that they were not as good a form of narative as a film. Just films are rarely if ever as good in this regard as books. All these forms have their merits, but don't let your love of a form blind you to it's inability to do things is was not designed for as well as something else that was.

By way of comparison I love my bike but I'm not one of these tedious tits who will claim it's better than a car in all circumstances, because it's just not.

You implied they were 'fucking bent' as a form of narrative
If you were not therefore meaning they were not good, then one must ask why you chose the phrase 'fucking bent'. From this I can only infer that you think fucking benders is good.

Taking your compairsions, you love your bike, but in some circamstances it's not as good as a car.... In what you said, you dismissed your 'bike' (the video game) as a valid form of transportation (medium to tale stories), period.
Some video games don't invoke much story or emotion at all, then again, sodku books don't eaither. Others are epic tales expanding many characters and stories that are generally written by established fiction authors. They add an extra level that can not be established in a film or book; choice. Sure, we all know that the princess is in another castle... but when you walk around the dystruction of hyrule, a once alive and peaceful town filled with people, then it feels you with a sense of dread, and the fact you have to restore the 5 sages to stop a powerful overlord who has bought distruction to the land (Zelda, Nintnendo). When you're chasing a red ballon attached to your photo-realistic child through a shopping mall, and eventually find him killed by a car - with the sudden darkness and rain pouring down and the internal darkness that encompases the mood of the main character (Heavy Rain, PS3). Then there is the likes of Portal 2, which has actual laugh out loud moments, and extreme skill.

I'm not a heavy gamer, but I don't dismiss it as a medium to tell stories... and in fact, in the UK, our games industry brings in more money than our films one.

Just because you're stuck with the old linear narrative form, don't go dissing others, you reactionary thickoid

If a reactionary thickoid can't slag off lesser mortals and their infantile forms of entertainment on the t'internet, things have come to a pretty pass, I must say.
